Sparc of Hope 5K

SPARC of Hope 5K is a community running/walking event held in Louisa, Virginia, at East End Farm (1091 Hamilton Rd). The race offers a 5K Run/Walk with a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere to support SPARC’s suicide-prevention efforts. Now in its 10th year, the morning invites participants to share hopeful stories, honor loved ones, and reduce mental-health stigma.

Dogs on leashes are welcome, and there are two registration options: a shirt package for $25 or a no-shirt free registration, with donations encouraged. All proceeds benefit local suicide-prevention work through SPARC, a coalition focused on reducing suicides in the area. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
